This is a clinical practice guideline for lung cancer screening in adult patients. The guideline discusses the risk factors for lung cancer, selection of individuals for screening based on level of risk, and the benefits and risks of lung cancer screening. The accuracy of low-dose computed tomography (LDCT), multiple nonsolid nodules, and the concept of shared decision-making are also considered, along with the cost-effectiveness of screening.
